Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips Secret Salma Lipstick

December 16, 2016 |

I received a Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips lipstick for my birthday in my wished for colour – Secret Salma! There are quite a few beautiful colours in the Hot Lips collection but I hoped for something with colour to brighten my face a little. Nudes make my face feel washed out during the winter.

Secret Salma (£23) to me is a medium mauve purplish rose. On my skintone it’s quite pigmented, it’s wearable in the day although it definitely not a “natural” colour per se.

The formula is called a luminous matte – well I would say that it is a decent description! The finish is slightly matte, with no shimmers or pearl. It’s flattering as it’s not too drying at all, and makes the lips look healthy but full despite being a semi matte.

The packaging of the lipstick is nice, it’s very similar to Joan Collins lipstick or old Estee Lauder ones.
